"I'm sorry I'm working on your birthday," Tom's mother says while leaving. Tom's sister is leaving for shopping. Tom wants to go with her,but his sister just asks him to enjoy his birthday. Tom finds his father also busy working on his computer. Tom feels sad.
Tom phones his best friend Neil. Neil's mother answers, "He is playing football in Winston Park. " "No one has any time for me," Tom thinks.
When Tom comes to Winston Park,he sees lots of mothers and fathers with their children. Everyone looks happy. Neil says "Happy birthday" to Tom and goes back to play football. Tom watches the game for ten minutes,but Neil doesn't speak to him again.
Tom sits down on a seat and finds a black bag. There is a camera. Tom uses it to take a photo of the black bag,but he doesn't want it. He deletes it. However,when he puts out his hands to take the bag,he finds it nowhere. He doesn't understand.
He takes a photo of a squirrel and then another of some flowers. The same thing happens when he deletes the photos. Tom puts the camera down. He feels afraid.
Tom wants to play with Neil. He takes a photo of their football secretly and deletes it. As he expects,the ball is gone. But they soon have a new ball to continue playing.
Tom sighs.
Later,Tom walks to his mother's coffee shop. Thinking about having an afternoon with Mum,he takes a photo of the dirty plates and cups and deletes it.
"Tom?" Mum says, "Where are the cups and plates?" His mother is angry now. "I can't close the cafe,Tom!" she says. "This is my job! Now,please,tell me where the cups and plates are?"
The door opens. Tom's sister comes in. "What's this?" she says and takes the camera from her brother. "Is it new?"
"Give it to me!" Tom says.
Annie doesn't listen. She puts the camera to her eye and presses the PHOTO button. "This isn't a good photo of you,Tom," Annie says. "No! Don't press any buttons!" Tom shouts. But it's too late. Annie presses DELETE.
